"When people reach middle age, they can't help themselves, soak wolfberries in a thermos cup. ”
This sentence must have expressed the hearts of countless people, with the improvement of people's material living standards, more and more people have joined the ranks of health preservation.
According to the 2023 World Health Statistics survey, life expectancy in Germany is 81.7 years, which is 0.7 years higher than in 2016.
Life expectancy in Germany is among the top 10 in the world, 10 years higher than the global average life expectancy.
Not only that, life expectancy in Germany has maintained a steady growth trend year by year since the 21st century.
Going back a century, however, the average life expectancy in Germany is less than 40 years, doubling in just 100 years.
What is even more incredible is that Germans still maintain "bad" dietary Xi: they love to drink, eat meat, and love sweets, but their life expectancy has increased instead of decreasing.
So, how did the Germans manage to live a long life on an "anti-science" diet, and how did they become one of the top 10 longest-lived countries in the world?
Germans who "drink, eat meat, and have a penchant for sweetness".
It is said that "one side of the water and soil raises one side of the people", and the Germans can summarize their food culture with the phrase "drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat in a big mouthful".
Germans are known to be very fond of alcohol and are known all over the world.
With a history of drinking alcohol dating back at least 3,000 years, the Germans have an unimaginable craze for alcohol.
But the German wine culture is very different from the Chinese, and most of the Chinese will sit down with the wine and enjoy the wine.
Germans, on the other hand, drink directly, no matter what the occasion is, even on the street, you can see countless people drinking together.
They enjoy getting drunk into a state of excitement, alcohol makes their party more lively, alcohol makes people become their truest selves.
Drinking alcohol is a necessity in the life of every German, and "beer gardens" can be found everywhere on the streets.
There are more than 1,350 wineries in the country, and more than 5,000 types of beer are produced.
Germans not only love to drink, but also to eat meat, especially pork.
When it comes to famous German dishes, they are basically pork products, such as sausages, roast pork knuckles, pig's trotters, etc., which are all famous German specialties.
According to statistics, Germany's per capita consumption of pork products ranks first in the world, and even Chinese people who are all foodies have to take a back seat.
Walking into a German restaurant, you will be greeted by a wide variety of pork products, and the portions are particularly generous.
Someone once jokingly mentioned that no pig could get out of Germany alive!
The most shocking thing is that Germans are simply "sugar addicts" and love to eat all kinds of sweet and toothy desserts.
If you drink afternoon tea, Germans add a lot of sugar to the tea.
If you see someone eating dessert on the road, you will definitely not be able to take your feet off your feet and take your eyes off.
According to statistics, the daily sugar intake of Germans is about 9 times higher than the optimal intake recommended by the WHO.
It can be said that Germans are very "crazy" when they eat sweets, and there is a big problem with the food culture.
But even the daily drinking culture, eating meat, and craving sugar does not seem to have affected the health of Germans, and even life expectancy is still steadily increasing.
So, what are the secrets of German health and why do they live longer?
Why do Germans who "eat and drink" live longer?
1. Germans have three regular meals
Germans pay great attention to three meals a day, eat at a fixed time every day, and have a good eating Xi.
The food culture of Germans is very different from that of the mainland, and they pay more attention to the nutritional diversity of their meals and consider the nutritional needs of the body.
Just like Germans always eat milk, bread, fruit and vegetable salad for breakfast, while Chinese people usually eat soy milk, fritters and other foods lacking dietary fiber.
Although Germans consume a lot of meat products, they also consume a lot of fruits and vegetables every day, as well as some dairy products.
When a variety of foods are combined, you can consume more dietary fiber that the human body needs, which can naturally maintain good health.
2. Germans insist on standing more and sitting less, and love sports
We have the impression that most Europeans are obese, which has a lot to do with their diet Xi habits.
But in recent years, the obesity situation of Germans has been improving year by year, and the obesity rate has also decreased a lot.
This is because Germans are more concerned about their physical health, and they insist on "standing more and sitting less" every day.
For example, when you are working, you will find that many Germans like to work standing up, and only a few people work sitting.
Even in German schools, most children attend classes standing up.
First, standing is more conducive to concentration, improving interest in learning Xi, and can also play a role in weight loss.
At the same time, the German government is vigorously promoting national sports and sports events, which are bound to give the people ample opportunities for physical exercise.
Most Germans are able to play sports at least twice a week, and everyone loves sports.
3. Good social welfare and high national happiness index
In the results of a survey on the "life satisfaction" of the people, it is clear that the German people's satisfaction with life is still quite high.
Germans are more satisfied with life, mostly because of the numerous benefits provided by the government.
We all know that Chinese love to save money, and the purpose is nothing more than pension, medical care, raising children, educating children, getting married and starting a family.
First of all, on the issue of pension, all companies in Germany must purchase pension insurance for their employees, and it is a must.
Therefore, when Germans reach the legal retirement age, the government will provide a large pension every month to solve the pension problem.
As for medical care, medical insurance in Germany is fully enrolled, and all medical expenses required for medical treatment are borne by the government.
When it comes to raising children, education, and other issues, European countries generally don't need to worry much.
As long as people are willing to have children, they can enjoy free education, and the state provides a solid guarantee from the birth of children.
Not only that, Germans are not so stressed, strictly control the working hours to 6 hours, and spend more time with their families after work, and have two days off.
Moreover, Germans do not like to compare, and they will not choose to take out a loan to buy a house, and many people like to rent a house for the rest of their lives.
In this way, the Germans have little pressure to survive, and their mentality is naturally very healthy, and their bodies are healthier.
Although Germans love to drink, eat meat and sweets, they also pay attention to balanced nutrition and will eat a lot of vegetables and fruits.
At the same time, I also pay great attention to the usual exercise, lay a good physical foundation for myself, and have a healthy life mentality.
In this way, it is difficult for Germans not to live long, right?
